Pinot Gris

For over 160 years Pewsey Vale Vineyard has produced aromatic white wines of exceptional style, varietal flavour and consistency. A reputation for success with these wines and a location high in Eden Valley inspired the planting of Pinot Gris. Pewsey Vale Pinot Gris captures the essence of our cool climate vineyard with vibrant aromas, spice and rich texture. Winemaking is simple and natural with hand picked grapes whole bunch pressed directly to older oak barrels for fermentation by indigenous yeasts. The wine stayed in barrels for some months with regular batonnage before blending. Spicy biscotti and apple blossom fragrance with a hint of apricot kernel on the nose. The flavours of this wine are reminiscent of crunchy crab-apple and pear. With rich textures this wine finishes long and fresh. The 2009 Pinot Gris should cellar well for the medium term (4-6 years)
